This Jesus that is spoken of in the Bible....’made the lame walk ,the blind see and the dead alive. Cured the sick, healed lepers, walked on water , jingoed water into wine, fed five thousand with two loaves and five fishes ... or was it five loaves and two fishes? No matter ... Yet not a single Roman heard nor inquired into this amazing man’s magical performances. Not a single Roman heard or talked or wrote about these things. And the areas where Jesus lived and preached was chock full of Romans who kept their ear to the ground for any Jewish uprising or whispers of revolt. Surely a man who can raise another from the dead would make headlines in that ancient community or any community for that matter ancient or modern! BUT not a wimper or cackle from anyone.. Jew or Gentile. Whatever was written began to be written 30 to 70 years after the fact .. if they were facts! And by third or fourth person or persons who were no eye witness to these so called ‘miraculous ‘events. And these writings too, contradict each other.
The leaders of the Catholic Church know and have known the Bible to be a flawed and man made book but keep ‘Christianity ‘alive for the money it brings and the subsequent power it buys them. Hell they even have their own country and banking system in place! The born agains know this ; the televangelists know this . But religion and so called Christianity is a money spinner and a career maker. The GB know this . Al the leaders of the thousands of sects are in this for the money it brings. And they chose to define the events according to the suitability it afforded their spin on the book. Believers may rant and rave and hope and pray. For divine intervention! The ones who make up the beliefs for the flock , are laughing all the way to the bank. And sipping expensive scotch while driving in Caddy’s to it!!
For if the story is flawed, the history can’t be true! And if there is no truth in the history, then that history,s future is flawed reasoning. And that is grist for the mill - for charlatans and con men. Which the leaders of the 40000 plus ‘ Christian ‘Sects are. And Charlatans and Confidence tricksters , both men and women , have nothing no to fear from a flawed, man-made book’s retributory promises. For that promise of the imaginary retribution works in their favor as well- as a conciliatory palliative for the flock’s impotent rage upon discovery of their deception.
